Note we had planned a group meetup onshore in Cozumel but Buccanos has announced they will be closed on Monday so instead we will have a jam room open on the ship while in Cozumel. There will be group meetup point (South Beach) at Coco Cay for unplugged playalongs and informal jams. Of course you can also do your own thing while we are at ports of call.
Reminder: If you have not already checked in please do so with Royal Caribbean.
Make sure you come to the conference center (deck 2 forward) once you have come on the ship for your badge and tickets.
We will see you onboard!!!!

Join us as we celebrate our 16th anniversary with a 6 day/5 night Cruise to The Bahamas and Mexico on Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas sailing from Port Canaveral on November 1st and returning on November 6th, 2025. Our ports of call will be Cozumel in Mexico and Perfect Day at Coco Cay in Bahamas.
We are leaving from the East Coast in order to sail on Explorer of the Seas. This ship has much larger conference rooms. This will simplify our meetings and allow us to have up to 200 attendees. We have a fantastic lineup of artists that will be performing and teaching (Dani Joy, Perry Stauffer, Amy Kucharik, Petey Mack, Greg Gent, Jay Nunes and The Tropical Sons).
Join us onboard for fun, education and entertainment with these talented ukulele artists:
